Arduino Uno R3

 The Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board based on a removable, dual-


inline-package (DIP) ATmega328 AVR microcontroller. It has 20 digital
input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used
as analog inputs). Programs can be loaded on to it from the easy-to-use
Arduino computer program. The Arduino has an extensive support
community, which makes it a very easy way to get started working with
embedded electronics. The R3 is the third, and latest, revision of the Arduino
Uno.

Temperature Sensor [TMP36]

 The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensor. It


provides a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the Celsius

accuracies of ±1°C at +25°C and ±2°C over the −40°C to +125°C


temperature. It also doesn't require any external calibration to provide typical

temperature range. We like it because it's so easy to use: Just give the device
a ground and 2.7 to 5.5 VDC and read the voltage on the Vout pin. The output
voltage can be converted to temperature easily using the scale factor of 10
mV/°C.

10kΩ Potentiometer

 Potentiometers are very useful in changing the electrical parameters of a


system. It is a single turn 10k Potentiometer with a rotating knob. These
potentiometers are also commonly called as a rotary potentiometer or
just POT in short. These three-terminal devices can be used to vary the
resistance between 0 to 10k ohms by simply rotating the knob.
A potentiometer knob can also be used along with this POT for aesthetic
purposes.

LCD 16x2

 An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and has
a wide range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is
very commonly used in various devices and circuits. A 16x2 LCD means it can
display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each
character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. The 16 x 2 intelligent alphanumeric
dot matrix display is capable of displaying 224 different characters and
symbols. This LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data.

220 Ω Resistor

 A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements


electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors act to reduce current flow,
and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits. In electronic
circuits, resistors are used to limit current flow, to adjust signal levels, bias
active elements, and terminate transmission lines among other uses.

PIR Sensor

 A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that


measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They
are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly
used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications. PIR sensors are
commonly called simply "PIR", or sometimes "PID", for "passive infrared
detector". The term passive refers to the fact that PIR devices do not radiate
energy for detection purposes. They work entirely by detecting infrared
radiation (radiant heat) emitted by or reflected from objects.
Red LED

 light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an


electric current is passed through it. Light is produced when the particles that
carry the current (known as electrons and holes) combine together within the
semiconductor material.

Pushbutton

 A push-button (also spelled pushbutton) or simply button is a simple switch


mechanism to control some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are
typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal. The surface is
usually flat or shaped to accommodate the human finger or hand, so as to be
easily depressed or pushed. Buttons are most often biased switches, although
many un-biased buttons (due to their physical nature) still require a spring to
return to their un-pushed state. Terms for the "pushing" of a button
include pressing, depressing, mashing, slapping, hitting, and punching.

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (HC-SR04)

 HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Module from Easy Electronics is a device


that can measure the distance of an object by using ultrasound waves. For
this, it sends out a sound wave at a specific frequency and listens to the
sound wave to bounce back. Simply by recording the lapse time it becomes
easy to calculate the distance between the sonar sensor and the object.

Piezo Buzzer

 In simplest terms, a piezo buzzer is a type of electronic device that’s used to


produce a tone, alarm or sound. It’s lightweight with a simple construction,
and it’s typically a low-cost product. Yet at the same time, depending on the
piezo ceramic buzzer specifications, it’s also reliable and can be constructed
in a wide range of sizes that work across varying frequencies to produce
different sound outputs.
